All the makings of a trap game.

well, i thought they lost, per ESPN. Akron Zips 5-3, 1-1 AWAY 75 Final Northern Kentucky Norse 5-4, 4-0 HOME 76

Probably for the best. Would have given Norse time to set up a play a play

Groce's couldn't recruit Chicago, and he can't recruit Brecksville.

who is going to run the pick and roll?

I don't know these guys personally nor know what motivates them. But my impression over the years with Dawson is that he is ok being the 6th man, bringing excitement on to the floor. IDK...like the star's best friend in a sit com. They come in a few minutes into the show, get the laughs, and get the Emmy. Whatever the case, it's a stressor or a weight lifted off the shoulders of the coaching staff.

Greg starts. Period

yes, that YSU scrimmage will haunt Groce for the rest of this season and maybe into the next if he's not on to his "next endeavor."

I never hear a negative comment from the student section about any Zips player.

I thought LCJ and X could create their own shots. Hesitation. Footwork. Ball handling. Etc. 1. As for the crowd, had the Zips won their last 3 the crowd may have been bigger. 2. Had the Zips played Michigan or Duke. etc. the crowd would have been bigger. #1 didnt happen and #2 is never going to happen. So here we are.

No T-shirt toss. Times are tough.

And yesterday, you said Dawson would have made the difference last year. And for last night Ali would have made the difference. If only Groce nabbed Bass before Kent did...Bass would have made the difference...

you hit the Trifecta: Pick and Roll Wing Big all in one post.

Rabid fan base?

!00% agree on Dawson. if not the MAC tourney winners, definitely a 1 or 2 seed. This game was as ugly in person as it was on TV from what you all are saying. At the gym, there are no stat boards, so I had no idea, literally, that Freeman scored 27 points. I remember the 2 threes and his getting mugged and tripled by a hustling and scrappy FIU team along with some missed FTs. Amazing how much he scored in the face of the onslaught. I was super-impressed by FIU. I couldn't believe how they kept up that pressure. They looked like one one of those first round NCAA teams that gives a top 2 seed tons of trouble. Loud and angry Zips contingent with some colorful comments for that one ref who looked right at the FIU player locking arms on Freeman and shook his head "no big deal." He didn't ignore it. He gave permission.

From what I recall, the team doctor warned them to stay away from banana boats.

Spent a very enjoyable evening at the James A. Rhodes Arena. Arrived after the football game started and left long before the football game ended.

Tonight Halligan and Wilson became Kretzer and McAdams. A new day for the Zips.

Zips getting sloppy. Scott, Thornton, Dawson off the bench is nice.

Shooting is cooling off. Zips suffer when Freeman is out

Why can't Groce recruit Ashland?

The score doesn't reflect how close this game really is.

Goodness. This will be like Ball State v Goshen Apostolics.

Let's not get too excited. The Zips had trouble with CSU in a scrimmage!!🤣 FWIW impressed that they are ranked above Humpty Hitchens and James Madison.

Noah v Miami. soft tissue? 🐑🐑you may want to write a strong letter to Coach Groce and AD Guthrie 🐑🐑
